Sault Ste. Marie, Mi...Director Miller of unit 4 has it right about needed referendum reforms.
Mr. Miller believes the tribe needs a rule in place that prohibits payments ...like those to Indian Energy and Fred Paquinn and Bernard Boushor...before the possible 30-day referendum period expires.
In the case of Indian Energy, the tribe stood to lose a million dollars if that investment proposal was voted down, in that a million dollars was already invested into the company before the referendum period expired.
In the case of Fred Paquinn and Bernard Boushor, $18,000.00 and $300,000.00 plus respectively was paid out before the referendum period expired.
As director Miller explained...otherwise the referendum process and the right of the membership can be circumvented or at the very least, rendered powerless.
Take note of this directors McCoy and Pine...you're the ones who've been playing Russian roulette with the membership's money...not the tribal members themselves. $20,000.00 for a referendum is peanuts compared to the money you have wasted and put at risk.

This is "After the fact" Government.
The Bouschor type action makes it too late to change it.
That is how they ram it down your throats.
The citizens that don't care for that type of government need to start a "RECALL" drive and rid the tribe of the vermin.
Understand.... that it takes more commitment than to just vote in someone and ask them to handle it.
It takes total support at the ballot box and the board and unit meetings and any other action...ie..letter writing, petition signing and protest that person might calls for.
Everyone failed A Payment, in that department.
Now, what are you going to do if Malloy calls for action?????????
I agree 100% but the reform that is coming will be one that will take away our rights to the referendun, if certain BOD members have their way. These BOD members want to take from us not make it better for us to hold them at bay.
sound like miller buying votes he has promised darcy chase for two years he was getting her vacation pay i dont believe it has happened yet
Sounds like someone here may be in support of Miller. I sent in a comment yesterday stating he is just trying to appear pro member because he is going to run for Chair, that was his plan all along. He is a slime ball. Has had his hands in every pocket he could....pulled some real fast ones over the years. Yet this comment was not printed. Miller is just like the rest of them.
I think miller is the only member with a degree
. Enough said.
